Ordosocialist Focus (Kembesan: ዬማዘዚሶሻሊሲቲ ትኩሬቲ; Yemazezisoshalīsiti Tikureti}}), alternatively known as the Ordosocialist Front or by the initials OSF, is a militant ordosocialist movement active in Kembesa. Originally founded in the mid-20th century, the organization seeks to overthrow the Kembesan monarchy and install a popular government with a centrally planned economy. OSF has engaged in both nonviolent and violent forms of political activism. In 2006-2007, the organization effectively disbanded but it ultimately reemerged a decade later in 2016.
Ordosocialist Focus has been designated a terrorist organization by the Kingdom of Kembesa, the Latin Empire, and the Kingdom of Yisrael. Since its reemergence, the organization has primarily resorted to violent means to achieve its ends. OSF attacks on political figures, public buildings, and cultural monuments associated with the monarchy have intensified. Bombings and crossfire ambushes are among the most common violent acts committed by OSF members. The organization often claims responsibility for major attacks, but has at times denied involvement in other attacks. Investigators have noted that the focus theory utilized by OSF creates a disjointed network of insurgents that may or may not act independently in furthering the organization's goals.
The organization's membership is frequently disputed. The Kembesan government considers OSF the greatest domestic threat that the Kingdom of Kembesa faces. Official estimates place the number of members between 30,000 and 40,000. Independent journalists collating a variety of sources have placed the estimate much higher; between 100,000 and 120,000. The latter estimate considers individuals who hold ordosocialist sympathies or may occasionally work or provide services for the organization without acting as full members while the official government estimate claims to be inclusive.
